that can add to the comfort OF those
who work in it. On one occasion he
refused to diminish the wages paid in
his composing rooms, though they had
been lowered in every other office in
Philadelphia, and though his men vol
unteered to accept the reduced rate.
He cares for them in health and SICK
ness, in life and in death. He has or

No wonder that the staff of the

Mr.. Childs' private office in the
Ledger building is thrown open to
crowd of visitors, and contains a num-
Der of interesting curiosities. In the
library of his handsome and hospitable
house he has gathered a priceless col
lection of historical and literary treas
ures, including mementos of most of
the prominent men of the century in
America and England, besides many of
other lands.
A country house called Wootton, at
Bryn Mawr, and seaside VILE at
Long Branch also belong to Mr.,
Childs; and at one or other of his
mansions he has entertained hosts Of
great men. He was one of General
Grants most intimate friends. and
among his acquaintance are reckoned
the most distinguished men of this and
other countries. He entertains mill
ionaires and gives Christmas dinner
to newSboys with the same dignity and
courtesy.

out of o lice than in Office.
In concluding this brief sketch, we
may quote the words of one of his early
friends. the Hon. !. J. Stewart, of
Maryland, who said: "His heart was
always larger than his means. There
is but one thing he always despised,
and that is meanness; there is but one
character he hates, and that is liar.

The Career of George Washington Childs,
of the Philadelphia Ledger.

of the Philadelphia Ledger.
Nearly thirty years ago, when the
Public Ledger was published in its old
establishment, at the corner of Third

young man, who was just starting in
business for himself, hired small office
in the building. This young man, not
yet nineteen years OF age, with no in
fuential come tions, and no capital
except the scanty savings of his own
earnings, made an ambitions and APP
parently impossible resolution. IF I
live" he said, Il will become the owner
of the Public ledger"
Many brave and hopeful boy has
uttered such a resolve, and only one in
a thousand has brought his words to

sand. His purpose was spoken DELHI
erately and confidently, and within
sixteen years it was &C omplished.
The young mans name, as all the
Golden ArgoSy's readers know, was
George Washington Childs; and they
are probably familiar with the main in
cidents of his career. He had come to

was born on the 18th of May, 1929, and
where he spent his boyhood. His en-
